**Version 2 now live**
Easily set custom timeframes for your Google Tasks.
This extension allows you to extend the duration of your tasks as desired. This will help you schedule your Tasks with accurate timeslots.
Simply input the duration of the task and when you are ready to schedule it, drag and drop the task into your calendar. You will then see the task expand into the specified duration.
For example, to customize the duration of a task to 3 hours, simply add “(3h)” to the end of the task title and watch as the task automatically expands to fill 3 hours when dragged into your Google Calendar.
**2.0.0** - 1 minute increments supported
**1.0.7** - Updated logo file names

- (2023-11-06) Rambling Josh: This does what I want, mostly. Inputting the time via the title is a bit finicky, but not a huge problem. My big problem is that it only seems to support 1h increments. I haven't found a way to do say, 1.5h or 45m, every string format I've tried either bugs out or fails entirely. Even still, this is way closer to the functionality that I want than I originally had, so I'll take it. Most of my tasks want to be either 30m or 1h anyways.
- (2023-08-25) Jenn Babore: Needs to be in 15 min increments unfortunately
- (2023-08-22) Josh McEwen: Love it so far. I'd love to have smaller increments of 15 m if that is possible. Either way I'm stoked to have this!
- (2023-07-17) Pretty good. I'd find it even more helpful if you could set if to "Example (3d)", drag it to all day for a day, and have it show a bar\task for 3 days, basically mimicking that it has a start date. I tried "Example (48h), dragged it to all daym, but it didn't work.
- (2023-07-09) Riccardo Garramone: The extension is awesome, but i can't understand why it doesn't make task in minutes
- (2023-05-08) Voon Kiat Gan: It does not work on other chrome based browswer such as Edge. Can we make it compatible with other browser (edge) too?
- (2023-04-18) Rafael Bucker: This is awesome. A bit glitchy, but very useful. One improvement would be allow for fractions of time like 25 min, 50 min...
- (2023-03-04) Toju Ajeks: Works perfect! Whoever made this needs to be hired by Google ASAP! Color coding would be a welcome additional feature btw
- (2023-02-17) Tom Schmittzehe: This is a fantastic tool - and I've been looking for this for so long, thank you! ... One request though - it would be even more amazing if you could set a task duration over several days, which would then help turn your calendar into a project planning tool (so, to allow you to see extended tasks, or projects, over multiple days). Is this a feature you could build please? Currently, a task can't extend beyond one day on your calendar. Thanks!
- (2022-11-16) Rafael Benavent: Good but a couple bugs: - Task extended duration get hidden by events - Setting a task's time to 30min causes things to glitch - Need to refresh to view updated task durations
- (2022-10-14) John Kiss - Jonathan Kis-Lev: This is the very first time I am writing a review here, but I had to! This has been a feature of Google tasks that I've been longing for for a very long time! I found this extension after reading online at this thread: https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Workspace-Q-A/Add-duration-to-tasks-in-Google-Tasks/td-p/168286 Thank you so much, CFDev, for being a champion of progress! I just installed it and it works wonders. Bless you! Jonathan
